Saline systems have their advantages, but they do need some monitoring as well as periodic cleaning of the salt cell. Here are a few tips when launching out on a cleaning. Donn some rubber gloves and protective eyewear. Remove the cell from the plumbing (two hand screw bulkhead fittings, and a plug). Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and acid (2 to 1 respectively), and be sure to always add acid to water to prevent splashing of the acid. Use a high pressure hose and wash off any white encrustation that you can. You may also use a popsicle stick to get inbetween the blades while washing, but be careful not to damage the blades! Then soak in the solution for approximately 5 to 15 minutes and repeat if necessary (until foaming action stops). You may need to flip the cell over to cover the entire unit. Rinse with water and return back to the system.
